now I understand status
wow pretty messed up 30 years later I get it explained in a dumbass documentary. nobody else could explain wtf "status" was, even those I'd ask who wanted it more than anything else... was so illogical
and turns out it is!10 -
We are refactoring the core feature of our unique selling point of our backend that all our products use.
And our product manager just decided that we will roll it out on Wednesday and we will not do any tests. r/whatcouldgowrong2 -
You're telling me that, Google, the biggest tech company of all time, who primarily owns the web, couldn't come up with a function to add "Profiles" in the official Google Chrome app?????1

How was the weekend?
I cut my 5-year-old's long hair this weekend. Time to change the avatar
What split your life into before and after?

Someone's going to be fired. Not me. When I joined my current company I was severely unwell. The survival rate for the state I was in was only slightly better than cancer (at 2 years less than 3 in 4 survive). I told work all of this. As far as I can tell they did nothing. As far as I can tell they didn't belive me. They've now got shitty about my performance and have actually asked for an independent review of my health. It is bad. It's significantly better than it was and it probably sounds worse than it is, but it is bad. They don't even know how much worse it was when I joined because they DIDN'T GET AN ASSESSMENT LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. Someone is getting fired. HR hasn't responded to my emails since last Tuesday when they got the assessment. The only person that's said anything to me is my manager, he was in a bit of a grump last Wednesday (I don't think they'd told him yet) but he's being nice today, not a single word of criticism.
Someone is getting fired.11 -
sending files through vscode + ssh is the most retarded thing I have done so far. This shit is so slow.2

I give up.
I have to make a bunch of disparate things work together, in an otherwise easy-sounding ask, and they’re all broken. Every one of them is broken. Even links between them are broken. Devs hardcoding incorrect values; devs pushing broken code, broken dependencies, broken configs. The orchestration is broken. The containers are broken. The NATS/gRPC flow is broken. Nothing works out of the box; many of the pieces require config and env hacking to run, and when they do run, the data formats don’t match between services (nor do e.g. account IDs). I can’t do it anymore. I was so burned out before this ticket that I couldn’t look at anything work related without feeling physical pain. And now this.
I’ve spent weeks just getting things to run and talk, and being ignored when I ask for help. There have been walls every step of the way, and I’m still not done. I can’t do this anymore.10 -
This is a first... My CEO made a youtube video announcing that they fired an employee (sales). I don't even know why they had to make a youtube video. The link was part of an email, just write it down in that email instead of labeling it as "small message from our CEO"
So disrespectful in my opinion.6 -
I want to bitch about so somewhat personal and somewhat political stuff, but no one will care for someone yelling at the clouds or be able to influence the situation in any meaningful way.8

I fucking hate Figma.
It's primary use case is designing web applications, yet all of its naming conventions are based on SVG.
So you have to fight with designers trying to shoehorn SVG naming conventions into design tokens.
"Stroke" is border. Every time I see this I feel like I'm having a stroke.
"Drop-shadow" is box-shadow. This one really pisses me off because the properties you set for drop shadows are not valid drop shadow filters unless by some miracle the designer didn't discover the spread property. I suppose this doesn't matter because 99% of the time the code will apply a box-shadow anyway.
"Effects". FFS.

For Star Wars day I got around to seeing ep 8, fucking depressing as hell. Not bad, just depressing5

What we were promised:
- The world as seen in Frutiger Aero
- Solving chess by running minimax on quantum computers
- Fully automated luxury communism powered by blockchain
What we were delivered:
- The phone selling machine in Walmart values your $700 phone at "$59 Today", but when you hit "Cancel", it bumps the price to "$79 Today" while stealing your data via USB. You can sell the phone for $400 on Ebay.
- Microsoft will try to bruteforce your zip archive's password if you upload it to OneDrive

Just got WHIPLASH from seeing a racist ad in my local gym.
Racist is a bit dramatic, but at the VERY least, it's tone-deaf as fuck and from MY perspective (Where I missed the first 10 seconds of the ad) it was definitely racist feeling. Even with the context, I think it's pretty strange.
Anyways, this grocery chain is running this advertisement campaign about their yellow tags. I guess yellow tags in their store are supposed to be good! So they depict a bunch of yellow things and put text on screen saying that "yellow is (positive attribute etc etc)"
You might already see where this is going?
Basically, they had one scene with bold yellow text "YELLOW IS HAPPY" and the background of yellow tulips. Again, I joined the chat while the ad was already going so I barely had time to read all the text before the scene changed.
The next scene that they chose to depict yellow things?
Oh, just a child in yellow overalls holding a yellow ice pop. Oh, and the child was Asian...
SERIOUSLY how tone deaf could you POSSIBLY BE. DON'T PUT ASAINS IN YOUR COMMERCIAL ALL ABOUT YELLOW THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
It was especially jarring since I lacked almost all context. I thought it was some shitty comedy sketch for a moment.

I'm doing a new strike technique called sneaky strike.
I'm not doing shit. Not even telling my boss I'm on strike.
Nobody tells him.

What if we brought back judging books by their covers?2 -
I can’t seem to comprehend why I can’t comprehend modern Frontend approaches. I think I’ll just stick with the backend side of things and go deeper instead. Nice try react 💙35
